JOSE, CHICAGO, SEATTLE, PORTLAND, BOSTON, AUSTIN, MINNEAPOLIS The song emerged earlier last year in live performances. As discussed by ANOHNI: "I have grown tired of grieving for humanity, and I also thought I was not being entirely honest by pretending that I am not a part of the problem," she said. “’4 DEGREES' is kind of a brutal attempt to hold myself accountable, not just TERRITORY RESTRICTIONS: ONLY AVAILABLE valorize my intentions, but also reflect on the true impact of my behaviors.” IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA The album, HOPELESSNESS , to be released world wide on May 6th 2016, is a dance record with soulful VINYL NOT RETURNABLE vocals and lyrics addressing surveillance, drone warfare, and ecocide. A radical departure from the singer’s symphonic collaborations, the album seeks to disrupt assumptions about popular music through the collision of electronic sound and highly politicized lyrics.
